A low-calorie, refreshing no-bake cake. What could be better on a hot summer day? These Lemon Bars lemon cakes feature a shortbread layer made from crushed graham crackers with a little butter, topped with a citrusy second layer of whipped cream cheese frosting with skim condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Assemble the dessert and refrigerate it to set. The resulting lemon cake is incredibly tender, with the perfect balance of flavor: just the right amount of sweet and just the right amount of lemony.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the butter, brown sugar, and salt and process until the mixture resembles wet sand. Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray and press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, condensed milk, and pasteurized egg whites and beat with a mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest and juice and beat until fully combined, another 30 seconds.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved; let cool for 2-3 minutes. Stir the gelatin thoroughly into the cream cheese filling. Spread the filling on the crust. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, until the filling is set. Using a cold knife sprayed with cooking spray, cut into 2-inch squares.
